aside from the usual movies and books...art museums, photography, painting, good ethnic restaurants, college basketball/football, and now that I live on the coast, the beach when it's warm.
Someone inspiring
Patty Griffin, Ryan Adams, Damien Rice, Fiona Apple, Nora Jones, U2, the Shins, the Old '97s, Wilco, Simon & Garfunkle, the Beatles, Tom Petty, Johnny Cash, Nina Simone, and a bunch of random musicians from mixed cd's others have given me. To be perfectly honest, I'm horrible at knowing who sings what.
Pretty Woman (sappy, yes, but it's still my all time favorite), Thin Red Line, Wayne's World, Heathers, Beetlejuice, Shawshank Redemption, the Secretary (in a disturbing kind of way)Chocolat, the Shining, Kinsey, Amadeus, Raising Arizona, and Jaws, just to name a few.
Law & Order borders on addiction, 24, and Grey's Anatomy - plus a number of really really bad reality tv shows.
Anna Karinina, Middlesex, Dracula, Brave New World, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, The Red Tent, Prozac Nation, Memoirs of a Geisha...the list goes on and on.
